At the Christmas Eve, my mom, my dad, Maggie and I set under the Christmas tree, there were 2 gifts
under the tree, one is red, one is purple. I opened the gifts, my mom gave me a book, my dad gave me a
pencil case. I acted like I was so happy to get this two gifts, but actually I was still thinking about the music
box that I saw a week ago on the street.
At the night, I lied on my bed cannot falling asleep. I closed my eyes and imagined that I got that beautiful
music box, I putted on my desk, every day can looked at it. But when I opened my eyes again, looked at
my desk, there were a box on the desk, which was covered by a blue shiny paper. I slowly got down my
bed and walked to the desk. Take of the paper and there was the music box in it. The exactly same one I
saw that day on the street, but the only different is the puppy were gone. I was so surprised and also
confused who gave me this. I looked down, Maggie set on the ground and looked at me with the smile.
Suddenly I understand. “ Hey, you brought me this?” I asked Maggie. “Yah, are you happy? Haha” She
answered. “ Of course I am happy, but……. how you know I want this one?” I asked her again. “Oh, Did
you realize the puppy in it is gone?” “ Yes.” I answered. “Right, cause I am the puppy who was there but
now I am here.” She said. “Huh? What do you mean? You mean you are the puppy who was in the music
box before?” She laughed “ Yes, that day I saw you were staring at this music box, so I know you
like it very much. And that is my house and also I come from there. You know? That is a brand new world,
you wanna see?” “ You mean, there is another word inside the music box?” I asked. “ Yah, if you wanna
see, I can show you, when I count 1,2,3 you close your eyes and try to do not think anything.” She told
me. “ OK, I will try.” I answered. “1, 2, 3”
I opened my eyes again, and I was standing on the snow, all the things I saw around were all same from the
music box, the only difference is they were bigger. Maggie walked to me. “Now you are in another world,
is the world in the music box and I came form here. Do you like it?” I looked around. It was so beautiful
and peace. The snow fell from the sky, everywhere were white. The ground, the roof, the tree, the snow as
white as the white paper, the sunlight went through the leaves, shoot on the snow, make the snow
looked shiny, just like the silver dress cover all the world. Children were playing snow and building the
snow man, adult were all busy for the Christmas dinner. In this world, every day is Christmas and is
Christmas for ever.
In this world, all the things can talk. Animals, human even trees and snow man. Maggie took me into a
house and introduced her friends for me, also I met some good friends there.I told them about my world,
about my school, my friends, my family. They told me about there world and friends and family. Next day
morning, when I woke up, opened the curtain all the things were so peace and happy. I found Maggie and
some friends we decided today we went to climb the mountain. We packed up all the stuff we need and
than we started the journey.
At first, all the things were fine, we limbed half of the mountain and decide to sit down and took a rest. But
after the break, when we started to walk again, something happened. The sun were running away, clouts
began to turn black, the wind were more stronger, the sky were turning black. Than there was a huge white
monster came out from the snow. Everyone were shocked and try to escape away, but the avalanche were
coming, we all get into the snow and fell down the mountain.
After I fell down I loss all my consciousness I don’t know when I woke up and
realize I was still alive.
“Maggie? Hi? Anyone can hear me?” I shouted. Wait for a few minutes no one answered. I stand up and
clean the snow on my cloths. But my leg hurts so I can’t walked very far. I shouted again “ Hi, can anyone
hear me? Are you guys ok?” Than I heard some sound, seems like some one was moving in the snow. I
followed the sound and found Maggie. “ Hey, Maggie, are you ok? Did you get hurts?” “ No, I am ok.”
She answered. “ Where are other people?” I asked.
